Hello Kitty Cupcakes

This past Sunday a beautiful little girl turned 1-year old! Her birthday party had a pink Hello Kitty theme which was a lot of fun to work with!

For the cupcakes I made Devil's Food Cupcakes, and Vanilla Cupcakes.  For the icing I made a vanilla buttercream and a tasty strawberry buttercream frosting.  The strawberries were so red and juicy, I didn't even need to use any food colouring to make the icing pink!

For the Hello Kitty shapes, I used a marshmallow fondant.  This was my first time making and working with marshmallow fondant, and it was really fun to work with!  I used Food Writer pens to colour on the faces, and I think they came together really well.

I hope the birthday girl enjoyed her cupcakes!
